I have a similar config rig that I bought about 6 months back...

GEFORCE MX 4000 AGP Card - Is the GeForce MX series not an old model? Perhaps you could go for a FX5200 or FX5700 if you want gaming or use Onboard graphics if you dont use heavy graphics software...

Mouse - I know Optical Mouse dont need to be cleaned, but the lower end optical mice that I have used (Logitech, Samsung) have a tendency to move suddenly to a corner... It could be due to dust or somthing but it is very irritating while playing games which need mouse... In this context, perhaps a PS/2 scroll mouse may be better...

Also, as vijay_7287 says, get a UPS.

Go for a msi RS480 based mobo, 2k extra but PCI xpress and the onboard graphix is really good (for onboard that is :twisted: )
